Goba is a border town in Manica Province in western Mozambique, located in the border region with Zimbabwe, nestled in the eastern foothills of the Chimanimani Mountains at an altitude of about 600 meters. The town is one of Mozambique's major land crossings to Zimbabwe, and is only about 30 kilometers from the Zimbabwean city of Mutare.
Goba is located in an agricultural area, surrounded by maize, beans and other crops, while relying on border trade and transportation services to develop its economy. The town's infrastructure is relatively simple, typical of a small border town. Its geographic location makes it one of the hubs for the movement of people and goods between the two countries.
Goba is surrounded by a unique mountainous landscape and is close to the Chimanimani National Park, which has some potential for eco-tourism. The town is connected to the Mozambican coastal city of Beira by the EN6 highway, while there is a rail line to Zimbabwe, but access is more basic.
Overall, Goba is a small town in western Mozambique anchored by border trade and agriculture, and plays a bridging role in regional economic links.
